From the Retired pilots website of Cargo airline that at the best of times had no more than 200 pilots. Pilots tend to live a long time.

300 out of the 2400 others could quit or take a leave for three years and save the jobs too.

Those guys should quit to make up for the avarice and greed among the upper managers? How about anybody with a military income, pension or reserve gig, take a LOA or quit so that other guys can feed their families. You've got enough. Any takers?
